You and Camilla are truly a blessing to each other, through thick and thin always together -- wonderful, simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing this wonderful post Kate. Blessings to you and Camilla.Jeanette

Kate this made me choke up and tear, for I too have my own Cami who calls morning after morning 6:00 AM and we too talk. pray, cry, and laugh :)You my friend have lots of Cami's out there namely (Me) who feel a special closeness to your heart, your beautiful words touch us in ways you can not imagin :)

What an incredible tribute to your wonderful friend! Those soul-to-soul relationships aren't easy to come by and when you have one you hold onto it through thick and thin. Thank you for sharing this with us Kate! :-)VanessaP.S. Off to send out a text to my "Cami"!

Oooop's got wrapped up in the moment, I forgot to mention those doors, that setting, those vignettes, and the beauty all around you is simply divine all wrapped up in gray, white and naturals a soulful place to just plain love!

Its so pretty Kate, I adore and love your style, I too am still looking for large doors, beacuse I am a copy-cat of your coolness over here. :)

Kate what a beautiful tribute to Cami and a wonderful testimony of the bonds we have with our kindred spirit sisters in Christ. I have been so very blessed with several Cami's in my life and lately, after hearing from women around me how they are so lonely and have never had a true friend, it humbles me that I have been so very blessed.

You are an amazing woman Kate. I have learned so incredibly much from you, about love, about forgiveness, and about true honest to God friendship. Even though I've heard the thorns and roses of this story, you have such a way of retelling the joys of your heart in such a profound way. I need to remind myself daily, even now, that through my own thorny path, my beautiful rose was you. And that makes even the darkest times worth it.

What a glorious post, Kate. You're a blessing to each other. A true friend is definitely something to be thankful for. I've met so many kindred spirits in blogland, like yourself, who brighten my day. I'm thankful for that.

My Kathryn, my heart, my joy, my lifeline, my tether. You captured it, with your beautiful artistry and soothing words filled with grace... our story, our song, our treasure. Through the years of wrenching pain and howling laughter, God was weaving together the tapestries of our lives. What an amazing journey it has been, and how incredibly blessed I am to have you as my dearest friend. All these years... so incredibly blessed. With tears streaming, my cup runneth over. I love you... to the moon and back.

Oh how you have blessed my heart with that story. Not only do I want a Cami but I want to be a Cami to someone. The friendship you described can only be a God ordained friendship. I know you are a wonderful friend to her as well, Kate. It sounds like you two were certainly created to be friends.

This is so beautiful and she is beyond blessed to be your friend... YOUR so inspiring and just beautiful inside and out. LOVED this post.. it is one of those you will think about while driving or talking to your best friends....... Thank you

What a wonderful tribute to your dear friend. Those kinds of friends are hard to come by. I'm sure your life is blessed beyond most to have someone like her in your life. Btw, I loved that swiss cross pillow you featured, so I ordered one! Beautiful pics!

What a beautiful story Kate. You are truly both so fortunate to have one another!! It is a rare thing to have a friend like you both have in each other.Your home is looking so beautiful my friend!!! I can't wait to see more photos!Wishing you a lovely day.Sincerely,Melinda

Kate, what a loving post. God sent Camilla to you and you to Camilla. I have a dear Camilla but her name is Joyce. She is the one who has had trial after trial. I try to be there for her. She has been battling breast cancer for over two years. Finally after beating it and being told she is 'cancer free' or husband took her life. Sometimes I ask, "Lord, how much more can she bare?" She has been so strong through it all. I think of you often and how strong you are battling your illness. You are an amazing woman like my friend Joyce. Thanks so much for sharing this with Share Your Cup. Both words and pictures of your beautiful holiday decor were wonderful!Hugs,Jann
